SAN ANTONIO — UTSA head football coach Jeff Traylor on Wednesday announced that the program has added Marcellus Wilkerson, a transfer from Garden City Community College, to the 2023 signing class, which now totals 25 student-athletes.
Wilkerson played nine games at safety for the Broncbusters in 2022, totaling 31 tackles, including 17 solo stops and 4.5 tackles for loss. Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, he was the District 3-6A Co-All-Purpose Player of the Year as a senior at Boswell High School.
Of UTSA's 25 signees, 17 hail from the state of Texas with seven from the Greater Houston Area, five from East Texas, three from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and a pair from Central Texas. There are two signees from Georgia and one each from Alabama, Hawai'i, Louisiana, Mississippi and Pennsylvania, as well as the program's first-ever player from American Samoa.
The group features a near-even split of 13 who come from the high school ranks and 12 transfers. Of the transfers, four are moving to San Antonio from an FBS or FCS program while eight last played at a junior college.
Fifteen members of the class are offensive players, while 10 are pegged for the defensive side of the ball.
